Hi Y'all. My new friend Tiffany was kind enough to invite me over to guest post at Living Savvy. In case you missed it, here it is. My latest repaint is one of those unfinished projects that I just never seem to get time to do...tell me I'm not the only one who has a garage full of "things to do"....someday!! I've had this popcorn can around since Christmas, and I just couldn't bear to throw out a useful container...even though I didn't have a plan....Yet!
Since my sweet daughter Amelia loves turquoise, and I had an extra can of Valspar, I decided to repurpose this popcorn tin into a trash can for her room. And in case you didn't know....Valspar has the BEST spray paint ever! No kidding....this stuff sprays so smooth with no little spurts or droplets....it's part of their "Easy Spray Technology" ....and it works! My favorite Valspar color is "Exotic Sea" and that is what I'm using today...
I primed, painted gloss white, and then grabbed my stencil and "Exotic Sea"....
For some reason I always make a mess when I stencil...is that unusual? Anyway, I had to touch up several places with some white acrylic, but I finally had a trash can...
This simple makeover only took a few hours...my favorite kind. Amelia loves her new refuse container....can't bear to call this a trash can anymore. What have you painted lately?...tell me all about it. I love all the feedback and getting to know y'all better. All you new friends have an invite to follow me, so we can connect...let me know and I'll follow you too.

Wow, that was amazing! I too have a popcorn can waiting to be transformed and your post got me inspired! Thanks!
What a great idea! I need a trashcan for my newly redecorated craft room! Now to find a popcorn can... :)
I've tried to "like" you on FB a couple of times, but the link won't seem to work for me. :( Anyway, love your trash can re-do. I did one with twine a month ago or so and it was a pretty big hit. People just love trash cans.... er... refuse containers!
Beautiful way to reuse things! I too love recycling and creating art out of trash...appreciate your work and so am 'following'!

Neat...I love that idea. I have several of these but I use them to store my Christmas stuff in, they are protected really well that way. Next one I get though I will keep this in mind.
This turned out really cute! I'll have to remember this next time I get a big tin of popcorn!
I love the color and the stencil!
Beautiful job!!! What a fantastic idea. Megan

I jumped over from Domestically Speaking's Poawer of Paint Party- this is just what we need in our nursery! Thanks for the inspiration! (I'll make my hubby do the spray painting or wait until after baby is here)
I love this! Going to make a version of this for each of my kid's rooms! Very creative!
